Honest Game Trailers: Pokémon Red and Blue

Pokémon is one of those cultural phenomena that you either get, or you don’t. Or maybe you’re like me – and you got it when you were younger, but now think the entire thing is a bit of a farce. I embraced having 151 of the critters; now there are over 600 of the bloody things to try and collect. If you fall in to the former category, this is probably for you.

And if you played the original Blue and Red games, the last of this video is for you too. It’s Smosh’s latest Honest game trailer, this time focused on Pokermans. It’s funny, though the bit rattling off the 152 original Pokémon is a bit hit and miss.

Editor. I'm old, grumpy and more than just a little cynical. One day, I found myself in possession of a NES, and a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. It was that game that made me realise that games were more than just toys to idly while away time - they were capable of being masterpieces. I'm here now, looking for more of those masterpieces.
